OCW Presents: 24/7
From the OCW Arena
Week 1
~Marcus Welsh enters the OCW Press Room with Knux behind him. Reporters stand, eager to ask questions. Do these people live here? Fuck. This is as impromptu as impromptu gets. Anyway. They’re here, that’s all that matters. Welsh grips the mic and leans forward~
Marcus Welsh: Piledriver. An interactive format.
~He pauses~
Marcus Welsh: House Shows. An interactive format.
~He pauses again~
Marcus Welsh: Monday Night Equality. An interactive format.
~He nods, pausing a third time~
Marcus Welsh: I’m thinking...why limit the interaction to a few days a week? Why not keep the OCW Arena open 24/7 for the staff and wrestlers. Non-stop access for the fans to enter the arena and potentially witness a match. Just leave this bitch open round the clock.
~The reporters are intrigued~
Marcus Welsh: Whenever someone feels like issuing a challenge. Cutting a promo..w.hatever. They can appear on OCW television and do so. No rigid time window. No cut-off period.
~He looks over at Knux. Knux nods as if to say, “Great idea, sir.”~
Marcus Welsh: Yea? Great. So let’s make it official. Starting right now we’re rolling with OCW 24/7. A non-stop opportunity for OCW talent to cut promos, interact with one another, issue challenges, and compete inside the ring in front of the OCW audience. All as a prelude to the monthly mega-events...which begin on December 5th with Death March.
~Welsh smiles. Proud~
Marcus Welsh: Will it work? I hope so. Will it fail? I hope not. Regardless, it’s worth the try. So...let’s do it.
~Welsh leaves the podium amidst a cavalcade of questions...which, as always, go unanswered~

~ As Welsh leaves the podium, everyone's favorite mustachioed reporter, who is definitely not Zybala, runs over with his trusty pen and notepad. ~
Goodie: Mr. Welsh! Goodie Reporterson here. Another stellar, game changing announcement sir. They'll be talking g about this for years to come. I have a quick question for you. As Piledriver went off the air last night, number one contender Mike Zybala asked you a question and offered you a handshake. The cameras cut off before we got to see you response. What did you say to Mr. Zybala??

~Welsh eyes Zyb...err, the Reporter~
Marcus Welsh: Right now, my primary focus is Death March. After the GREAT PURGENING of 2021...we're obviously re-establishing our footing, re-creating an identity...finding our way through the maze that is the current OCW landscape. It's imperative that Death March is a hit.
~It's obvious Welsh is very serious about ensuring Death March is a success~
Marcus Welsh: After Death March, we will celebrate a tremendous year...at which time, discussions can and will take place pertaining to where we are headed for 2022.

~Whisper Mendoza is backstage. She's unpacking a grocery bag, making it clear that she's prepared to basically LIVE inside the OCW Arena. She catches the camera's presence~
Whisper Mendoza: This 24/7 rule is a great idea. Now I can pop in and say important things whenever I want.
~She turns, noticing a bald man walking by in the distance~
Whisper Mendoza: Speaking of which...
~She starts whispering~
Whisper Mendoza: did i just catch a glimpse of the infamous zyBALDa?
~ Goodie nods thoughtfully as he writes in his notepad. ~
Goodie: A wise idea Mr. Welsh. Follow up question. We noticed that Zybala has tried his best not to call Mr. Poblano by Pablino. Have you heard from the current owner about his thoughts on this? He was oddly absent from Piledriver.
~The fans go wild! Mike Zybala SUPERKICKS his way through the curtain. He marches down the ramp...he reaches the bottom and rolls into the ring. He calls for a microphone and gets one. The music stops and the fans listen. ~
Mike Zybala: Sugar Valentine! Your jive turkey, wannabe pimp, poor man style dressing mother fucker! You have dodged me for far too long. You've talked shit, tried to get me fired, and harassed the ladies here! You won't get away tonight. I know you're in the back so get your ass out here RIGHT NOW!!

Instead of Sugar Valentine, it's the new GM of Monday Night Equality, Lord Allton that answers Zybala's call.
Lord Allton: Mr. Zybala, please excuse the intrusion.... if you'll permit me, I would like to accompany you with your match with Sugar Valentine. I'm sure he has some 'choice' words for me given that I y'know took his job.
Zybala: You know what, Playa? Let him grab a partner and we can make a tag team match! Holla Holla! Please forgive me for that poor impersonation, but I couldn't help myself. Welsh! Find us Sugar and send him to the slaughter!.... Please..

Allton: Find him, Welsh. Or my boys will. And they won't be so...diplomatic.
Allton pauses and shakes his head.
Allton: Fuck it. Boys!
Suddenly the curtain jerks and being dragged by both Vincenzo and Tank is Sugar Valentine. It seems as though he's had a 'talking to' by Frankie as he walks out carrying brass knuckles.
Vincenzo: Well lookie what trash was blowing around backstage.
Allton: I'm all for giving my fans what they want, so ask and you shall receive.

~ Zybala sees this and goes bananas! He starts running the ropes, shaking them, screaming for Sugar to be brought to him! He is manic! Its like he's channeling 80's Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior simultaneously! He's Zybalaing up, by God! ~

The crowd begin to get excited as Allton points one finger in the air halting the process for just a moment. Vincenzo and Tank drag Valentine over to Allton. Allton grabs Sugar by the chin.
Allton: Now Mr. Valentine. You dear fellow are going to have a nice chat with my good friend Mr. Zybala. And just so you know....... They're MY girls now. No longer under your disgusting tyranny! Now boys let's allow Mr. Zybala to have his fun. A gift Zybala. Merry Early Christmas.
Frankie storms down to the ring, slipping Mike Zybala the brass knucks, while the Family continue to drag Sugar down the ramp to everyone's delight. Everyone begins to chant 'Merry Christmas' and Allton smiles.

~ We cut to outside of a hospital room. Through the window, we see Sugar Valentine laying in a bed, with all sorts of IVs and tubes hooked up to him. He seems to be unconscious. The camera pans back to reveal reporter extrordinare Goodie Reporterson, his mustache looking superb. He is surely not Zybala, and definitely not ZyBALDa. Goodie adjusts his glasses (Zybala does NOT wear glasses) and raises an old fashioned microphone that many reporters have uses over the years. ~
Goodie: Goodie Reporterson here, outside of the hospital room of one Sugar Valentine. Mr. Valentine was put here after what many would call the most one sided and brutal matches in OCW history. Mr. Valentine was thrown into a match against number one contender Mike Zybala at a recent OCW house show. What followed was a beating so vicious that we can't legally show any of the footage. All we can say is that afterwords, Sugar had to be rushed to the nearest medical facility. We will update you when we have the latest status report. For The Weekly Globe and OCW News, this is Goodie Reporterson signing off.
